Dear Readers, India’s fashion retail landscape continues to evolve at an accelerated pace, and at the heart of this evolution lies the robust engine of franchising. In this July edition of IMAGES Business of Fashion, we spotlight the stories of prominent franchisees across the country as they share their journeys—successes, challenges, and critical insights that define this dynamic business model.
What becomes evident through their voices is that franchising in India has grown far beyond being a mere route to market, it has become a powerful driver of growth, collaboration, and regional entrepreneurship. From global icons like Levi’s, Adidas, Celio, and Tanishq to nimble Indian brands, franchising has enabled scale while preserving local relevance.
Franchisors bring brand strength, operational know-how, and marketing frameworks. But the true momentum comes from franchisees who contribute deep-rooted local knowledge, people leadership, and a willingness to invest in long-term brand building. Today’s franchisees are more than just store operators—they are brand custodians, experience creators, and market influencers.
